I shamefully admit I did not finish my Phd in Philosophy.

I don't know Teachers. Care to elaborate?

The whole argumentation is based on the idea that we see the (dis)appearance at the moment it happens, and that distance does not have any effect on o...

@ the moderators I think now would be a good time to close this thread.

I understand now why you are so worried about the state of science and the way it is treated in this forum.

beautiful baby. Is that your kid?

sure is.

Thank you for sharing, Wosret. Anybody else?

And how do you feel about all that? edit: I meant, about what you said, Not the polemic. unclear humor I'm afraid.

Tell us something about yourself.

My bad. It does not make me respect you more though.

Why don't you come out of your safe anonymity as a moderator and criticize my empirical objections with your authoritative arguments? I will concede t...

Yes, and you are full of it.

I would prefer a very good diagnosis, and not mere prejudice.

Did you give them a reason to stay with the quality of your posts, or is it so much easier to look for a scapegoat and avoid looking at your own short...

I am glad I made your day. Your reply is another sample of your worth.

This says more about you than me, that you choose to vent your opinion in such a "righteous" way instead of putting your money where your mouth is. Ma...

That is good enough for me, and I apologize for insulting you.

I have no problem with people disagreeing with me or defending science as it is now. I resent being insulted or belittled because the people who have ...

I was hoping that someone else would protest against this, but apparently it is not such a great issue, or nobody understands it the way I do. Anyway....

You are just like @"SophistiCat", @"Srap Tasmaner" and @"VagabondSpectre". When you speak of true science you are all talks and zeal, and you wouldn't...

Here is the captain speaking. To all Friends of Make Science Great Again! Do not! I repeat, Do Not engage the enemy! Evasive maneuver Alpha

You are demeaning yourself. That will make it that much easier for me to ignore you completely.

Where is the guy that wanted my head and what did you do to him?

@"VagabondSpectre" criticized amply and thoroughly my approach. One of his main arguments concerns the photons that are radiated sideways through a (c...

With all due respect, your view shows a very narrow interpretation of philosophy of science. There is certainly a technical aspect to all the question...

Vibrations and Visibility This drawing is supposed to explain how light is reflected in different directions. It is in fact a formalization of the mor...

You are advocating a Kiss of Death policy. All ideas are equal, but some ideas are better than others. edit: All ideas are equal, but some ideas are m...

Thank you for your support, I really appreciate it. I was in fact defending science against bigotry.

I am glad I am given the opportunity of expressing very controversial views.

Science thrives through criticism and heretics. Giordano Bruno was burned alive, Galileo had to recant. Einstein doubted the Newtonian time and space,...

Is Red + Green + Blue White? It seems so obvious. Who would be stupid enough to doubt such an obvious empirical fact? But then, what would happen if y...

Is Darkness the same as Black? Close your eyes, and you will certainly notice that your not looking a a black wall. The absence of light is quite diff...

Inside the Camera obscura (3) There remains at least one question unanswered. How come we get practically the same pattern with one slit? Here are som...

Inside the Camera obscura (2) The distinction between the retinal image and the projected image can hopefully help us understand why a laser beam dire...

I'd rather have no responses that dishonest responses. I never say there should be a link, only that if photons were propagated in all directions, tha...

Absent Gratings How easy it is to make gratings disappear is shown here with the following two pictures taken from the upper floor of my building. The...

You are really pathetic in your avoidance strategy. Please do not waste my time anymore.

But we see the beam not only from that place, but from anywhere!

why are you procrastinating? I am sure I could formulate my ideas better, more precisely, more carefully. I am also certain that I am far from knowing...

https://youtu.be/FVpPU4NIJh0 around 1:55 mn. You can see the beam, but no link to the subject. But then, that was because the photons are invisible an...

stop trying to hit me and hit me!

what are you afraid of? not me no how

Because I already did, while you refuse systematically to discuss my empirical objections. You prefer, like everybody until now, the safe discussion w...

Let us give up the pretension that we could ever agree on even the simplest of tests.

Let us be clear on the test, and I will keep searching. 1) The subject shines a beam of light away from him at another object (in this case a lens). 2...

I have done the test, and I have seen it done on Youtube. I will give you the link as soon as I find it back. "gospel" in this context has no religiou...

I notice that all you are doing is reciting the Optics gospel. You are not answering my question which could put an end to this sterile discussion. I ...

I find this a very strange assertion in this context. We are talking about visible light, like for instance a beam of light directed towards or away f...
